ive had nats in coco before, but never in call balls. So i have some spinosad, but ever used it before, theres no pics as its to depressing to show , So imagine two net pots with a colony or nats growing on them and crawling up the trunk,

First i just tried a white oil spray, it slowed them own a bit but the next day more, nats just grew out of the medium, its strawberry eclair week 7 i want to save her
should i try to dunk the root balls in spinosad solution, or spray it on, not sure, what the go, do i need gloves or mask for it or its cool to touch it accidentally

Hydrogen peroxide at 1 part peroxide to 3-4 parts water and some liquid Gnatrol with sticky traps is the best way I've found to deal with them. I've only used Spinosad outdoors as a spray for the leaves so I'm not sure about a root soak.

Pics would help. I'm kinda confused how you're growing and have never hear of call balls. Microbe Lift BMC is good shit for fungus gnats, but I don't know what you're looking for. And you're sure they're fungus gnats and not root aphids or something right?

are u sure there fungus gnats, they usualy live n breed in soil, not clay balls, if it were a soil or coco medium you were growing in, i would sugest diatomatious earth layer over the top surface,
but ive never herd of them in such wet conditions as you would get when useing clay balls for hydro, being that the nutrient solution is allways on the move
